French beauty giant L'Oréal has launched a digital skin diagnostic based on people's selfies. This new technology is based on an artificial intelligence-powered algorithm developed by ModiFace - the startup recently acquired by L'Oréal - and on 15 years of scientific research on skin ageing by L'Oréal research and innovation teams.

South African finance minister Tito Mboweni, during the 2019 Budget Speech, says budget spending has to focus on getting the country ready for technology, and doing this requires fixing the country's education system.
